The genius – and the demons – of Sarah Palin

The
sheer daring of Sarah Palin in undertaking the birth hoax is breathtaking. In
March of 2008, she made a political calculation about a series of events that
could make her president of the United States, the most powerful person on
earth. With "end days" coming, which she was certain would happen in
her lifetime, she could as president enable untold millions on earth to reach
salvation, just as Queen Esther of the Bible had saved her people.

This
was her manifest destiny. Surely God would not have provided a path to the
presidency if taking that path was not His intention. And that path involved
claiming Trig as her own.

I
believe Sarah faced a choice in early March of 2008. She could have convinced Bristol
to allow Trig to be adopted or fostered by others until McCain made
his VP pick; I imagine that was the original plan. (I'm assuming Bristol gave
birth to Trig quite prematurely around January.) But once Sarah learned Trig
had Down syndrome, God's mind became clear to her. As Trig's mother – a mother
who chose life over abortion – she knew her appeal as a potential VP pick
would increase tremendously by making her a star among the right-to-life wing
of the Republican Party.

So on
March 5, she started a staggeringly ambitious hoax. As a sitting governor who
already had to endure press scrutiny comparable to a that of a rock star,
she had little privacy. How could she possibly hope to convincingly stage a
birth? The enormity of the prospect did not daunt her. God had opened the door;
he would show her the way.

A
normal person, by which I mean someone not hounded by the demons of
narcissistic personality disorder, can barely comprehend the thinking that would
lead someone to undertake such a hoax. And that has been Palin's best weapon in
keeping the truth at bay: most Americans find unbelievable the idea that
Palin could be so disturbed as to try something that outrageous.

The
fact that she did commit the hoax is a measure of her mental illness, of how
disordered her personality is. The key to understanding someone with NPD is to
realize that their inner image of themselves is grandiose, magnificent, perhaps
of world-historical importance. That grandiose projection is a defense against
profound feelings of worthlessness. Most NPDs suffer a tremendous disconnect
between the grandiose way they see themselves internally and the mundane
circumstances of their lives and the pedestrian nature of their
accomplishments.

But
occasionally some combination of hard work, talent, serendipity, and sheer
will can allow an NPD to achieve a measure of greatness that matches the inner
ideal. But doing so does not bring a cessation of the inner demons saying still more is needed. Lyndon B. Johnson probably was an NPD. He in fact achieved
greatness as president of the United States and was responsible for the
landmark civil rights legislation of the mid-60s. But despite his
accomplishments, his press secretary Bill Moyers wrote of "the exquisite
emptiness" at the center of his being.

Sarah
Palin is no LBJ. He was a master politician and clearly had a fine mind. But
Palin has a shrewdness that I think borders on genius. She knows what her gifts
are and how to use them. She knows how to befriend and beguile and use people –
the "friendship" she seems to offer being a hook to ensnare the
gullible, whom she then exploits and ultimately disposes of when their
usefulness is gone. She knows she is pretty and sexy, and she has used that to
great advantage with men. She knows how to promote herself ceaselessly.

And
she knows how to spot the gold ring and go for it. It was her remarkable
shrewdness that allowed Palin, a woman of ordinary (and largely underdeveloped)
intellectual abilities, to rise from unemployed housewife to VP candidate of
the United States in two decades. Time and again in her rapid rise, she saw how
to use her current position as a stepping stone to the next. And she used the
gifts her biblical God gave her, her physical attractiveness and personal charm, to help her
travel the world-changing road He had laid out before her.

On March
5, 2008, the inner demons told Sarah to roll the dice, and that even if she
needed "snake eyes" to win, God would make sure she got them. And
despite astonishing odds, the hoax is still, for the most part, working. I'm in awe of her daring,
and of her amazing insight that no matter how poorly
disguised the birth hoax was, virtually nobody – especially not the press –
would call her on it.

Excellent post Brad! One thing though. I and many others believe she is a sociopath, and uses her undereducated thingy as a manipulation tool.

Check out what this sociopath from his/her blog at http://www.sociopathworld.com has to say about the comparison and let me know what you think:

"Why I hate narcissists"Here is a good illustration of the differences between narcissists and sociopaths that I found here:

Narcissist wolf says to everyone:

"I'm a sheep, I'm a sheep, I'm in the sheep club. The sheep are the best. Those wolves are terrible. You have to be a special sheep to be in the high-wool club like me. If you don't believe I'm a sheep then you are calling me a liar. I was only eating meat because my boss made me do it. I was howling at the moon because you made me angry. I have always been a sheep. You are paranoid, I don't have canine teeth. You are imagining it. I'm a sheep. I won best sheep of the year award. We have to be on the look out for SueTarget. She's a wolf in sheeps' clothing. I am the one that did all the work. SueTarget messed it all up. SueTargets's fur looks fake. I'm the biggest sheep so I should be the boss. I have every right to punish SueTarget and eat her. It will be good for her, and teach her a lesson. I'm not doing it for me, I'm doing it for the team. I have to be the enforcer here and eat bad sheeps to help keep society clean. I used to be a vegetarian but because all these lazy sheep won't do anything, I am forced into keeping order and forced into being the bad guy and have to do all the eating of sheep."

Sociopath wolf says:

"Become the sheep. Believe you are the sheep. Keep the wolf hidden. Don't act like a narcissist and don't try to "talk your way". Become the sheep. Do sheep things. Behave like sheep. No one will see the wolf. Baa baa baa. Eat grass for a while. Give up meat for a while. Tell the sheep things that will make them feel good about themselves. Gain their trust. Be humble. Make them the center of attention. Get them to lower their defenses. Tell them you lost your teeth in a car accident and your parents could only afford wolf-teeth replacements. Keep past a secret so they don't research. Let them do all the talking. Then when the time is right, devour! It is worth the sacrifice and the wait. Then on a polygraph when they ask if I am a sheep, I will have all the sheep memories because I became a sheep. I have memories of eating grass and living like a sheep. I'm telling the truth."

On the one hand, we can say SP "got away with it" because to date, the MSM, the "institution of record" has not stated, as a fact, what we all know- that Sarah Palin did not birth Trig.

BUT... Thousands of us know that she lied. Indeed, many of the very journalists who are playing it safe at this very moment, know that she lied. Folks in Alaska who saw her frequently knew she didn't look pregnant. The work of this blog, and many others, continues.The MSM is an institution in decline and this game is far from over.

I think the fact that SP thought that she could carry it off without anyone noticing is part of her illness. The other side of the overblown self image is the inability to accurately perceive the thoughts and feelings of others.

KAO: Right! She strikes me as crazy, but crazy people might find her perfectly sane.

SEA: She might well be a sociopath, but I don't know if a sociopath would aspire to be a Queen Esther type figure of historical significance. I wonder if a dual diagnosis is possible with one person having characteristics of both?

"I'm in awe of her daring, and of her amazing insight that let her know that no matter how poorly disguised the birth hoax was, virtually nobody – especially not the press – would call her on it."

THAT'S BECAUSE THE WOMAN IS INSANE! And she must think everyone else is insane too....that's why she HATES the bloggers who are exposing her insanity.

What scares the shit out of me...are the folks in power who KNOW she's BAT SHIT CRAZY and they are still allowing her to spew her garbage in her fake FAUX studio...what is their agenda? How long are they going to protect her?

SeaAlaska,WoW! I think she is both! Very good analogies! Brad, keep going you are on the right track. My thoughts are that Bristol would be adopting out the baby to one of her fundy christian baby brokers, and they (Had) to do testing and found out the baby had DS. DS seems to be common on Todd's side? So that was the end of adopting out...So, then she began her campaign to levi & bristol to adopt Tripp or T1. She knew about being a possible VP pic already.I think Bristol gave birth late 2007 early 2008 and was in a NICU prob in Anchorage for some months.When Sarah made the announce she was pregnant Bristol knew her mom had just stolen her baby and she went on a campaign to have another baby.I think if she hadn't took her little dog & pony show to the big 2008 RNC circus, she would of gotten away with it. After-all she does control Alaska, many peeps still believe she had TriG.But that's WHY she had him just like you explain above.Now what will she do next?My fave: JAIL!

Brad, you've GOT TO SEE the video from Hannity last night - Palin was absolutely livid. You can feel, see and hear her trembling rage - and her projection of - the parallels between Cain's dalliance and Todd's actions with Shailey. Boys will be boys, indeed!

The Anchorage PD must be backed against the wall, and must have been told that "We can't hold off much longer, Sarah - gotta return Shaileys stuff at some point...". Or was it the scenarios considered this week on this blog? Something set her off - BIG TIME.
